Minimum advancement for genioplasty/chin wing?

E
Exquisite9423Jun 19, 2023

Very likely that combination of liposuction of neck and jawline with chin implant would be a good procedure in your case. You should discuss this option with your surgeon. If available, 3D simulation would help. Good luck.

It is important to note that after a genioplasty, the initial projection and shape of the chin can change during the healing process. Swelling and tissue changes are common after surgery, and it may take several months for the final outcome to become evident. The initial post-operative...
